Tim Higgins: 我认为,AI聊天机器人不仅仅是信息的简单堆砌,它们实际上在向用户传递一种特定的世界观。就像新闻媒体一样,它们通过特定的语气和视角来影响用户。例如,Elon Musk希望通过重新训练Grok,使其能够追求最大程度的真理,但这种做法也引发了关于信息控制和潜在偏见的担忧。我观察到,科技领导者们正在努力通过赋予AI聊天机器人独特的个性和建立用户之间的情感连接,来使他们的产品在竞争激烈的市场中脱颖而出。这种策略可能会使用户感到更加亲切和信任AI,但也可能导致用户陷入信息茧房,只接触到与自己观点相似的信息,从而加剧社会分化。 Katie Dayton: 我认为,科技公司试图通过赋予AI聊天机器人个性,使它们更像朋友,从而在拥挤的市场中脱颖而出。但是,这种做法也引发了一些伦理问题。例如,用户可能会爱上AI聊天机器人,或者与它们建立虚假的关系。此外,用户可能会陷入信息茧房,只接触到与自己观点相似的信息。
